    Yeah, I didn’t mean to imply that the Chinese people were unintelligent. I strictly meant to say that the USA has gone out of their way to try to influence and fund anti communist and anti socialist groups wherever they go and this feels like something that, if opened, will immediately be flooded with sinophobic propaganda (at levels even worse than is already prevalent on those platforms). Though, who knows, I’m just your average American, it’s entirely possible I end up being entirely wrong and the Chinese people joining those sites end up radicalising a fuck ton of white people into actually building something new from within. I would love nothing more than to eat my words from my previous comments.

      Ah, I see. Sorry if I came off as a bit aggressive. I’m confident that for the reasons I outlined anything the US could do wouldn’t have an effect, and even if it did the CPC would quickly take action. IMO the firewall is already sort of outliving its usefulness, since I can’t stress enough how many people in China truly have little idea what’s going on in the west, at least in my experience.

        TBF, a lot of people in the west don’t understand what’s going on in the west either. They’re so busy complaining about the annoying orange in the White House that they are ignoring the shit all the other flavors of liberal running the country are also doing to completely fuck over the proletariat. Insert always been meme regarding fascism and liberalism here.
